Canine decontamination, a laboratory study evaluating proper techniques to remove toxic materials from working dogs
To successfully decontaminate a working dog after toxic chemical exposure to HD and VX, dry, waterless, wipe decontamination should be performed to remove the majority of the toxin. This procedure reduces the transfer hazard to the handler, vehicle and veterinary medical staff which can then perform further decontamination and medical intervention.
